Lines which represent places of constant angle of dip are called

A

isoclinic line

B

isogonic line

C

isoclinic lines

D

isodynamic lines

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Lines which represent places of constant angle fo dip ar ecalled isoclinic lines. The line joining places of ero dip is called aclinic (or magnetic equator). At all places wupon this line, a freely suspended magnet willl remain horizontal.
